About Emily Glaze
BASIC BALD B*TCH is a solo show by Emily Glaze, performed at Jelly Belly as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is about Amy — everyone wants to be Amy, until her hair falls out in all the wrong places. What follows is a knotty mess of swimming caps, cat shit, and four-finger foreheads. Things buried threaten to surface, and she can't stop thinking about the man hiding behind her bedroom door. Now Amy attempts to take back her body, one fake eyebrow at a time. The show uses drag and comedy to explore sexuality, alopecia, and assault.
Why see this show?
A bold, funny, and unflinching solo show that uses drag and dark comedy to explore alopecia, sexuality, and assault. Emily Glaze turns raw personal territory into something theatrical and genuinely affecting.
